Lifehacker high-lighted a very handy app today by the name of GoogSysTray. This application will essentially monitor most of your Google services like Mail, Voice, Wave, and even Reader for new items, and alert you once they’re found.
The program is pretty customizable, and easy to use. I gave this a shot and so far I’m really liking it. If you’re like me, and you have signed up for multiple Google Products, this may come in handy for you to keep track of new incoming items for your various Google services (especially Wave that doesn’t have an alert system).
